The caption read, "Hollywood's love affair with the Gold Coast continues. Filming has begun in spectacular style for the latest instalment of the 'Godzilla vs. Kong' franchise, the action taking place in the heart of the glitter strip." 

The footage reveals a swarm of extras fleeing the waters on a beach in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. In the video, Australian journalist Amelia Adam reports, "Surfers Paradise became Rio this morning... Brazilian lifeguards, taxis and military police... hours of preparation", adding, "Before a sight at sea caused quite a commotion. Once the computer-generated image experts are done, Godzilla will be striding through the Surf on the Goldcoast's busiest beach."
